It is possibly best to only transfer files that store personal data that you need and not a complete profile folder.

You can copy files like these to the current Firefox profile folder to recover specific data.

  • bookmarks and history: places.sqlite
  • bookmark backups: JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder
  • SQLite files like cookies.sqlite (cookies) and formhistory.sqlite (saved form data)
  • logins.json and key3.db (decryption key) for Passwords saved in the Password Manager
  • cert8.db and possibly cert_override.txt for (intermediate) certificates stored in the Certificate Manager
  • persdict.dat for words you added to the spelling checker dictionary
  • permissions.sqlite for Permissions and possibly content-prefs.sqlite for other Site Preferences
  • sessionstore.js for open tabs and pinned tabs and tab groups

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Thanks.

I need to transfer the entire 0rhe2j1r.default folder because I customized bookmark folders and a lot of other features and I don't want to bother with the individual contents.

The problem is that I don't see an equivalent folder in the Portable directories and I dk how else to transfer the entire customization.

The Firefox portable version is configured differently than the regular release. When you move the entire profile folder then you might defeat some settings in the portable version.

When you copy places.sqlite then you get all bookmarks. The profile folder of the portable version should be in its program folder.

Thanks.

I'll read the info and if I have questions I'll let you know.
